Severe CCCA may be biologically and clinically different from milder forms.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA is a common, progressive hair loss condition that may not always be linked to hair care practices and requires a biopsy for diagnosis.
research Increase in testosterone metabolism in the rat central nervous system by formalin-induced tonic pain

research Transitory hair growth using platelet‐rich plasma therapy in stabilized central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
PRP therapy can temporarily grow hair in CCCA patients but isn't a permanent cure.
research Premature Desquamation of the Inner Root Sheath in Noninflamed Hair Follicles as a Specific Marker for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Early shedding of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific sign of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.
research Central trichoptilosis with onycholysis
Hair splitting and nail detachment are linked conditions.

research Recurrent Central Serous Retinopathy with Permanent Visual Loss in a U.S. Naval Fighter Pilot
A U.S. Naval fighter pilot suffered permanent vision loss in one eye due to recurrent central serous retinopathy.
research Minoxidil induced central serous Chorioretinopathy treated with oral Eplerenone – a case report
Minoxidil can cause a rare eye condition, but it was successfully treated with oral Eplerenone in one case.
research Factors associated with quality of life in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A cross-sectional study
Younger age, longer disease duration, frequent wig use, and lower education levels worsen quality of life in CCCA patients.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
CCCA is a common, scarring hair loss in Black women that needs early detection.
research Increased risk of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in Black patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Black patients with a specific type of hair loss have a much higher chance of lacking enough vitamin D.
